Specification :

BP-127 is an organo clay (modified montmorillonite), designed especially for use in solvent based system. It is especially recommended to be used in high polarity resins such as epoxy, and high alcohol percentage solvent systems.
It is suggested to be used to replace Bentone27.

Advantages
1. High gelling efficiency
2. Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range
3. Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.
4. Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems.

Typical properties

Application
In solvent based paint. It is mainly suggested to be used in industrial paint such as marine paint, container paint, anti-corrosion paint and anticorrosive paint.

Using
BP-127 disperses under high shear and requires a polar activator for best efficiency. Heat is not required to obtain good dispersion. Addition levels are typically in 0.2%~2.0%. Dosage of polar activator (95% ethanol or 95% methanol) is 30%-60% of BP-127 in weight.
